Af which airline

Profil Air France-KLM is a world leader in its three main businesses - passenger transportation, cargo transportation and aeronautics maintenance. History 7 October was the birth date of KLM and Air France, the first in , bearing the name Koninklijke Luchtvaartmaatschappij for The Netherlands and Colonies, and the second in , resulting from the combination of five French airlines.

Between meals, they are fairly generous with the handing out of snacks, ice creams, sandwiches and hot and cold drinks.

Some of the choices include Indonesian rice dishes, Japanese selections and an Italian choice. Kids meals are also available and, even better, are free of charge! Personally, that could be a deal breaker. As someone who flies frequently with children, the free kids meals and hourly alcohol service tip me towards KLM. But if fine dining is all part of the inflight experience for you, I reckon Air France has got the edge.

So far, Air France have only equipped the with in flight Wi-Fi. The newest and the have laptop power to all seats, but other classes of aircraft do not, although AC power is available across the fleet. All have on demand TV though, showing a rotation of current blockbusters as well as a selection of homegrown French movies. The new cabin features power sockets on all seats too, as well as Wi-Fi throughout the flight. AC power is available on all flights apart from the Embraer class craft, but laptop power is again lacking except on a few of the newer widebody craft.

In some ways, my verdict is based on not solely what the aircraft provide, but what the overall experience is going to be. Charles DeGaulle airport is notoriously inefficient, and from personal experience is one of the most stressful places to undertake a transfer. On the other hand, KLM will always connect you in the wonderful Schiphol airport. Refined, pleasant, laid back and altogether a nicer place to spend a few hours than CDG. The seats are more comfortable, the in flight amenities tend to be better and the food just has the slightest of edges over the Dutch carrier.
